I’m a new postdoctoral researcher starting on October 1, 2025. I’ll be joining the Genzel lab to work on wireless recordings of hippocampal neurons while animals perform the behavioral task. I’m broadly interested in how memories are formed, stored and organized, and how new memories update existing ones. This aligns closely with the Genzel Lab’s focus, and I’m excited to join such an interesting project.
I completed my Ph.D. in University of Toyama, Japan, where I studied how the prefrontal cortex encodes past and future reward information during a goal directed locomotion task. I then moved to Trondheim, Norway for my postdoc at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience, where I investigated how postnatal ablation of hippocampal Cajal–Retzius neurons affects the development of hippocampal function.
